Description

Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of LSD Psychotherapy and originator of Holotropic Breathwork, offers a wealth of perspectives on how we can enrich and transform the experience of dying in our culture.

In The Ultimate Journey, Dr. Grof discusses his own patients' experiences of death and rebirth in psychedelic therapy, investigates cross-cultural beliefs, paranormal and near-death research, and argues that, contrary to the predominant Western perspective, death is not necessarily the end of consciousness.

Reviews:

"For all those wishing to understand how humanity has come to terms with its mortality, as well as those interested in how ancient spirituality and modern science intersect around this aspect of the human experience, 'The Ultimate Journey' is compulsory reading. It would be difficult, indeed, to find a more comprehensive and up-to-date text on these matters written by a more informed and experienced scholar than Stanislav Grof." —Juniper Quin of SevenPonds
